Forum Post: Fix the System – Hire Holograms

In Japan today Hatsune Miku is the first holographic star, playing to sold-out audiences. The product of cutting edge software, Miku appears on stage as a real person, and is, according to Huffington Post "incredibly realistic," and has been drawing a massive following. Holographic technology has a wide range of applications, including government, education, judicial, insurance and banking. With the implementation of Holograms citizens are likely to see a huge decrease in frivolous institutional spending.

For example: Unlike a Hologram, elected officials are human beings, and humans - even elected officials - are exceptionally expensive, each individual expects fair compensation in trade for their specialized labor, including a wage commensurate with cost of living, health care, and retirement when they have completed decades of public service. Holograms won't require health care, wages, travel expenses, bribery, five-star lodging, kickbacks, special interest groups, the Betty Ford Clinic, banking corporations, security guards, bail outs, retirements, lobbyist, a greedy appetite, nor, well, anything other than a steady power supply.

This all amounts to Enormously Wasteful Spending (EWS) and wasted time, which requires billions of our hard-earned tax dollars, all for an enterprise that that doesn't appear to produce any clear solutions or solve any real problems. Worst of all, elected officials continue to have conflicting ideas of how things should work, and all too often, they say and do things that do not represent the voice of the people. Rather than hire millions of fallible, inefficient humans, we can hire holograms.

Here is a modest proposal for America, one that will help our system become far more efficient, one that will help us get considerably more "bang for our buck" help us out of debt and help us embrace the future ahead, by integrating technology and thus dramatically reducing wasteful overhead:
